BORN TO INSIST ON EARLY CALL TO LEGISLATURE Marion County Member Ready to Sign Call for Special Session. “There should be a special session of the Legislature at once. If the Governor does not call one, I am ready to join with other members in a call to assemble without his action. The people of, Indianapolis are entitled to have the city manager form of government at once. The Sims law should be repealed.” This is the statement of Prank Born, a Republican member of the Legislature from Marion County. He was one of the four Marion County members who voted against the law which prevents the city manager government from becoming effective until the expiration of the Duvall term. Ready to Sign Call Bom declares that he is ready to sign a call for a special session if the Governor refuses to act upon the petition of the city manager committee. Officers of the Woman’s Department Club, largest woman’s club in the city, at a meeting Wednesday approved the action of the Board of Trade in condemning Duvall and asking that he and his w_ife city controller, resign. The club board of directors will meet Monday to consider putting the entire club formally on record, Mrs. John R. Curry, secretary, said. The club membership will act on the directors recommendation next Wednesday. Urge C. of C. to Act The Architects’ Association of Indianapolis Wednesday adopted a resolution urging the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature to make it possible for the city manager form of government to go into effect hei;e at once. The club also directed a letter be sent to the Chamber of Commerce urging that organization to take the lead in the movement for a speMOTION PICTURES

Amendment of the city manager law to allow that form to become effective at once is asked in the resolution. The statement pointed out the Legislature, which amended the law to provide that the manager form will become effective on expiration of the terms of incumbents, had tied up the manager group in the present political situation. Dick Miller, Chamber of Commerce president, called a special meeting of directors Monday to consider the civic affairs committee re-

NEWS OF BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN INDIANAPOLIS

RUSHES WORK ON NEWHOMES Favorable building weather of the last few weeks has enabled Everett J. Holloway, builder, 805 Lemcke Bldg., to rush a number of building projects he has under way. Holloway developed Speedway Terrace Addition, west of Indianapolis on the Rockville Rd. “We aim to put into every home we build the very best material and workmanship that it is possible to secure, considering the low prices we ask, and we are proud of the houses we have finished this year,” he said. Home-owners are demanding good construction, he said, and builders generally are building better homes than a few years ago. Small bungalow houses are selling better than the larger houses, Holloway said. CINDER BLOCKS WINNING FAVOR That the tremendous heat pressure of summer weather or the driving winds and cold weather of winter do not make a home uncomfortable if it is constructed of Straub cinder blocks, many Indianapolis contractors and home-owners are discovering. These cinder blocks are gaining considerable impetus in the building material field of Indianapolis as a result of tests made by a number of contractors. In many more modern apartments and homes, Straub cinder blocks have been given a thorough testing, and results are said to bear out all claims made for them by the Straub Cinder Block Company, of which E. W. Klatte is manager. The splendid fire resistance of Straub cinder blocks was given a most severe test in a fire at Tenafly, N. J., when a hollow five-inch wall of cinder blocks resisted a winddriven fire that lasted for three and a half hours. An average of 800 gallons of water a minute was directed against the heated wall surface, Klatte pointed out, creating an unusual condition of expansion and contraction, but after the fire there was no evidence of heat penetration. The wall, which was three stories high, was uncracked and undeflected, and every cinder block was fit for use. Straub cinder blocks are admirably adapted for building purposes, extremely light in weight, from forty to fifty per cent lighter than brick or sand concrete blocks, and stronger than most brick or concrete blocks. As for insulation and fire resistance, dampproof and soundproof, Straub cinder blocks are superior to any other type of building block, contractors have declared.

Residence Follows English Exterior Type Design; Walls Red Brick. An arrangement which provides for a living room well separated from the dining room and a library in which one may really find seclusion among walls lined with bookshelves characterizes the new residence at 5272 N. Meridian St. The house was designed and built by H. L. Simons. Like many of the other houses which Simons ..has built in the neighborhood, it follows the English type in its exterior design, with walls of variegated red brick, a high-pitched siate roof and a second floor wing of half-timbered stucco. Additional breadth is given the facade by extending the front of the house proper to an entrance gateway to the drive, which is on the north, where it terminates in Orick column corresponding with a similar column on the opposite side of the drive, like the two posts that guard the entrance to an old-fash-ioned garden. Walk Curves to Door The flagstone walk curves from both sides of the lawn toward the center entrance door, a solid timber door set far back in a Gothic archway faced with Bedford limestone. The drive, too, borders the lawn on both the north and south sides, so that a car may enter from one side and leave by the other. The entrance door, as in many of Simons’ houses, opens into a spacious hallway wider than it is deep, with a graceful starway, finished in ivory enamel and walnut, curving

across the west side. Back of this stairway, and facing the west, is the library, a secluded room with walls of walnut panelling. The dining room, on the north side of the entrance hall, is reached through double doors set in a Gothic archway. The walls are finished in a rich ivory, divided into ornamental panels against which are set side lights of the double candelabra type. Those in the dining room are hung with crystal prisms. In the living room the antique brass finish gives a touch of warm color. Cupboards in White The kitchen is at the north side of the house, connected with the dining room by a pass pantry In which the wall space, except where doors or windows prevent, is built solid with cupboards finished in ivory enamel. The kitchen is also provided abuntantly with cupboards on the west and south walls and on the north except where the sink and the windows above it fill the space. Inlaid linoleum in brick-colored small tile pattern is used for the kitchen floor covering with attractive effect. From the kitchen there are doors opening into a cross hallway on the south and another on the west; the former connecting the rear entrance hall with the main hallway, the latter having doors opening onto the

driveway on the north and into the finished three-car garage at the back of the house. A door also opens from the garage into the south cross hallway. Living Room Full Depth The living room is at the* extreme south side of the house, extending the full depth from front to back, with a corner porch on the southwest. On the east it has a group of four casement windows, on the south there are double casement windows on each side of a white marble fireplace, and on the west French doors invite afternoon sunlight into the room and serve as exits to the porch. The arrangement of the upstairs bedrooms is one that Simons especially favors, the bathrooms being directly connected with the rooms in most cases, so that two room suites are available, giving more privacy than when all baths open from the hall. The arrangement of the maid’s room, above the garage, Is also a desirable feature of this builder’s larger houses. Heating apparatus was furnished by W. H. Johnson & Son Cos.; T. A.

URGE EXPRESS SERVICE By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. o.—lnstallation of express service on city electric cars and busses was strongly indorsed today in a report to the American Electric Railway Association convention. A committee reported that a national survey showed express service was being operated successfully in various cities. Express service is designed to appeal particularly to the long haul riders. It does away with vexatious stopping and saves a great deal of time for riders. Both cars and busses are being utilized in express service. Usually, car lines are paralleled with busses, and one vehicle takes care of the express service while the other makes local stops.
